IEC 62083:2025 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– modification of the title from Medical electrical system - Requirements for the safety of radiotherapy treatment planning systems, to Medical device software - Requirements for the safety of radiotherapy treatment planning systems;
– Adaptive radiotherapy is added with Clause 16;
– The title reflects different implementations of radiotherapy treatment planning systems.
